Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Engineering

Background:

  • Heart valve disease is a growing clinical concern with limited treatment options.
  • Prosthetic valves lack biological integration, necessitating repeat surgeries and lifelong anticoagulation.
  • Tissue engineering presents an opportunity to develop living heart valves with growth potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current tissue engineering strategies for fabricating heart valves.
  • To assess the progress of these strategies towards clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Review of fabrication techniques including molded scaffolds, decellularization, electrospinning, 3D bioprinting, hybrid methods, and in vivo engineering.
  • Analysis of advancements in creating functional living heart valves.

Main Results:

  • Significant progress has been made in developing engineered heart valves.
  • A clinically viable living heart valve product has not yet been achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to understand the natural valve's complex structure and function.
  • Advanced fabrication methods are required to replicate this complexity for improved cell differentiation and remodeling.
  • Future engineered valves may utilize autologous stem cells or endogenous cells for regeneration.
